FASHIONABLE OR OTHERWISE

than those Of heavy metal.
OUTER wraps are trimmed with straw
trimming and pendants.
PLAID is much used and with pretty
effect in seaside costumes.
THE cash is an inevitable accom-
paniment to almost any costume.
FEATHER stitch is favorlte finish Tor
lingerie for the neck and sleeves.
ODD.sHAPED soft felt hats Of English
origin accompany wooden costumes.
PRETTY belt buckles OF ali styles are
worn with the belts that accompany
the blouse waist.
THE panel which is formed of q lad
der of bows is very stylish trimming
for white costume.
ENGLISH hosiery OF heavy quality Is
worn by young ladies who do any
mountain climbing, and for tennis pur-
poses.
The blouse waist is fashionable for
young ladies this season and lends
comfort to the seaside costume, or
mountain dress.
YELLOW and white is apretty COM
bination always, and for g. tennis or g.
s ylieh.
SMALL checks are invariably COM
bined with plain fabrics this season.
The check forming the skirt and the
waist is of plain fabric.
IAUNDERED costumes are little worn
this season. The French and Scotch
ginghams are not made to be laund-
cred the first season they are worn.
INDIA silks in bandanna designs are
made as underskirts for plain fabrics.
These are very stylish and are some
times pretty in colorings.
OPEN work is seen again on the finer
sorts Of hosiery for the summer, and
it is not confined to silk, but it is also
to be had in finer Isle thread and cot
ton.
YOU'VE ladies are prone to adopt
Greek knot in the evening couture
because it is such an easy and simple
one to adjust, but is very trying to
most faces.
The brooch has taken the place OF
the small cravat pin, and is worn gen.
orally with tee severe, tailor made
costumes and is in harmony with the
plainness of the effect.
THE kerchief vest is the latest In
these fashionable accessories to the
toilet, they are either IL stripes or
plaids of bright color, and are SO full
as to form a plastron.
AwIDE soft sash is seen on boating
and mountain costumes, and is usual
lv of the material of the costume, OF
wooden fabric. A wide knotted fringe
is worked for both ends.
BEIGE pig-skin gloves are the most
stylish wear this season, and come IN
all the desirable shades. They are
durable as well rs elegant, and for
that reason are desirable for summer
gloves.
THE bodices OF all costumes for out
of-door wear in the summer are made
as loose and as comfortable as posi-
BILE and still have them shapely; very
stiffiy boned bodices are no longer ele-
CANT for any occasion and are only
seen In would-b stylish costumes.
ANEW fad of the feminine mind is
not an especially attractive one.
Many women persist In penciling their
eyebrows with India ink. 1t may be
condoned where it is an improvement
but not one woman in ten understands
how to do this without making her
self ridiculous. | met q mother OF
grown daughters at g. reception re-
Gently who had evidently "msde up"
in hurry, or IN room lnsutlclenty
lighted, for one eyebrow was halt an
inch higher than the other, more
arched and much longer. Il gave this
otherwise dignifed female the appear
ance Of giving q diabolical wink with
one eye which, to say the least, was gro
tesoue. Haven't seen such an eyebrow
since the days OF "Humpty-Dumpty"
Fox, who used to paint his that way,
and I declare his face was no funnier
than that of this lady of society, with
her airs, graces and burlesque eye
brOws.
AT the house Of friend the other
day saw q screen which was particu'
larry pretty in it's place in the gold and
white bedroom of g dainty maiden.
With the white gold lowered cretonne
hangings and upholstery, the SSining
brass bedstead and table, the deli
cate frames and etchings and the thou
sand and one materialized fancies of
ayoung girl of taste, and the means to
gratify it, the screen became acharm-
ing accessory. 1t was in three panels,
the frame being of carved wood enam-
eled white and picked out in gold.
Above the framework, which was OF
wood up some eighteen inches, was
shirred white China silk, with deli
cate go Id tracery running over it..
A handsome gold-colored satin bow
tied on one upper corner finished the
screen, which, simple as it was in CO n
struction, was marvel of delicate
| art in furniture.
